Canada and US Team Up to Overcome Deportation Hurdles

Canada is collaborating with the United States to address countries that are unwilling to accept deportees, as both nations escalate efforts to return migrants to their home countries. A government document reveals that the U.S. has faced challenges in quickly removing individuals due to the reluctance of some countries to accept them. Similarly, Canada has encountered resistance, even resorting to issuing single-use travel documents for deportations when foreign governments refuse to cooperate. Despite the absence of a formal bilateral partnership, Canadian and U.S. border agencies are working closely on matters of border security. Canada aims to increase its annual deportations from 18,000 to 20,000 in the next two years, amidst growing domestic debate over immigration's impact on housing and cost-of-living.
